Hello, I see from observing debug output of sshd that the correct way to disable AuthorizedKeysFile so sshd never tries any authorized files including those from the default list is to write: AuthorizedKeysFile none However the man page [1] does not mention this. Is this the intended behavior that is just not properly documented? [1] - http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man5/sshd_config.5?query=sshd_config&sec=5
